State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley resigned Sunday, three days after describing the detention of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning as "ridiculous" and "stupid."

"Given the impact of my remarks, for which I take full responsibility, I have submitted my resignation," Crowley said in a statement.

Once again, an Administration functionary, unable to resist
displaying his colossal ignorance and treading into another
Department's concerned has been thrown overboard. I I'm
tired of the "thrown under the bus" cliche. Plus, there would
be too many bodies under such a bus for its wheels to touch
the ground by now.)

The Administration Stupid Show continues!

Or if you're a traditionalist,“Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha!”And children, say it like you mean it!

I wouldn't say he was thrown under a bus,he gave his resignation and he may not have been pressured to do so. Some people just know when to hold em and when to fold em. This is especially true with elderly personnel and I've witnessed it. They simply believe their misconduct was so egregious that it's time to walk away from it all and enjoy what remains of their lives. He was wrong and he knew it so he fell on his own sword...

Manning within a month of being released...Chelsea Manning Tweets About Impending Prison Release20 Apr 2017 - With less than a month before her scheduled freedom, Chelsea Manning on Thursday tweeted her thoughts about getting out of prison.

With less than a month before her scheduled freedom, Chelsea Manning on Thursday tweeted her thoughts about getting out of prison after former President Obama commuted her sentence. "You know you've been in prison for a while, when the prospect of freedom is nerve wracking," she tweeted. Known as Bradley Manning at the time of her 2010 arrest, Manning came out as transgender after being sentenced to 35 years in an all-male military prison and dishonorable discharged for leaking classified military documents and video to WikiLeaks.

Chelsea Manning, center, attempted suicide for a second time on Oct 4.

She was convicted in military court of violating the Espionage Act and other offenses and has spent nearly seven years behind bars at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. President Obama shortened her sentence before he left office earlier this year. Earlier this week, Manning tweeted, "30 more days," with the hashtag "#mondaymotivation."

Her case pitted LGBT rights activists, who warned about her mental health and treatment as a transgender woman living in a men's prison, against national security hawks who said she did devastating damage to U.S. interests. The former cheered Obama's move, while the latter called it an outrageous act that set a dangerous precedent. Under Army rules, she was barred from growing her hair long while incarcerated, and only after litigation by her legal team was she approved for hormone therapy.

One of her attorneys, Chase Strangio, wrote on Twitter on Monday that the case was dismissed because she is free. Strangio wrote: "She fought hard & we all benefited."

Manning sued in federal court in the District of Columbia in 2014, asking a judge to order the Defense Department to provide hormone therapy and other treatment for her gender identity condition. The Army ultimately allowed her to receive medical treatment for her gender dysphoria.
